    by “completing it” do you mean having something that seems like it works? Or something that you know works? If it’s the former then you’ve just had the computer do the easy part (creating something) and skipped the actually hard part (making it robust).

    Are errors handled properly, is all input being validated? If using https, are you actually verifying certificates? This sort of thing

      Well since I just program for a hobby, I am able to complete things to the point that they meet my own requirements. If I need error handling for something, I can just ask the LLM to add error handling, it typically works out quite well.
